Listen More
"Listen More"
(Verse1)
Imma tell you this
Tell you that (tell you that)
No i told you so
Or a matter of facts
Did you stop saying things
Because how people react(react)
That spark in my talk
Sure enough glistens (glistens)
Would it have stood any firmer
If i would've just listened
Has it expired
Not giving out no more extensions
I could lose it now
Or gain it all
If i would've listen
I wouldn't have Missed my call(calling)
Cant continue to keep falling
Wisdom is not a chore
Am i out of it because i didn't listen more
(Chorus)
Listen more(Listen)
Should've paid more attention
My head was hard
Life dealt the cards
Was it the wrong hand
Gotta get it together had to take a stand
So i can fulfill my purpose and plan
Don't want to seem like im tore
Thats what happen when you don't listen any more
(Verse 2)
Your not to old (old)
To be told
Listen please
You can learn more
Revision is a decision
Have i admitted to my wrong
Or am i steady living
Letting life pass me by
Getting stuck i wonder why
Is it because i heard a voice
Didn't act on it because i had a choice
But did i listen
Or did i keep hinting
That i was capable of repenting
My life has much in store
Gotta stop looking for it in self
And look to the heavens and say (Lord i need your help)
(Chorus)
Listen more(Listen)
Should've paid more attention
My head was hard
Life dealt the cards
Was it the wrong hand
Gotta get it together had to take a stand
So i can fulfill my purpose and plan
Don't want to seem like im tore
Thats what happen when you don't listen any more
Bridge: I HEARD A DOOR
WAS GOING TO OPEN
HAD TO GET IT TOGETHER (HAD TO FOCUS)
I am already one of the chosen
Don't want to freeze or remain frozen
I want to reach beyond the sky
Hold up my head when i want to cry
Even when times get hard
Ill meditate and say thank you Lord
Im ready to receive what's in store
Thats what happen when you listen more
(Chorus)
Listen more(Listen)
Should've paid more attention
My head was hard
Life dealt the cards
Was it the wrong hand
Gotta get it together had to take a stand
So i can fulfill my purpose and plan
Don't want to seem like im tore
Thats what happen when you don't listen any more
Repeat until chorus fades
